CHANDOS label...

Classical music listeners, what do you think of the CHANDOS label?  The recorded sound seems to be very good, compared to other labels.  What do they do differently?  Thanks for your thoughts.

I like Chandos records.  I only have a couple of them, but no complaints.  Fine fidelity.  Fine performances.

While cruising through Primephonic, I just happened upon a Chandos recording of Victorian era British composer Dame Ethyl Smyth's cantata The Prison.  Needless to say, I'd never heard of Ethyl Smyth or her cantata.  Anyway, in a few words, damn, is this gorgeous!  Recording is full, rich and spacious.  The music is echt-romantic.  Played with pull-out-all-the-stops commitment.  A guilty pleasure?  Or a not so guilty pleasure? I don't care which.
